8o MAZARIN'S POLICY [chap, ix flirtations hitherto, which had well-nigh wrecked her life, this time she was brought into contact with a man powerful enough to dominate her life, and strong enough to support her through all her difficulties.^ One reason that the Cardinal was accepted as Minister without open dissension was, that all knew that the late King had nominated him, and he sought to make himself popular from the be- ginning. He put back Chavigny into the Council as one of the Ministers,... and told the Queen it had been an unwise move on her part when she turned him out. He also persuaded her that an act she contemplated doing, which would have ruined the relations of Richelieu, was a great injustice, and explained to her that as they would be, if left alone, dependent on her bounty, therefore they would serve her faithfully, and that for his part it was his duty to support all those who belonged to the man to whom he owed his greatness. His policy was so clever that he soon quenched all opposition from the Queen's adherents, and more- over he instilled into her heart the notion that these were acts of Christian virtue and clemency that would elevate her in the eyes of the world.
